Big Mama Rum Demerara Muscatel Finished 10 years old

Big Mama Rum Demerara Muscatel Finished 10 Years is the typical expression of rum produced in British Guiana. Its basic ingredient, sugarcane molasses, originates from the Demerara River area, which gives its name to this rum with a warm and enveloping flavor. The very particular climatic conditions, characterized by hot, very humid summers and rainy winters during which the temperature remains mostly mild, have made this area very suitable for the cultivation of sugarcane since the 1600s. It was precisely during this period that it was discovered that fermenting the molasses obtained from sugarcane could produce an excellent-tasting distillate: rum. The fermentation of the molasses to obtain Big Mama Rum Demerara Muscatel Finished 10 Yearsi occurs very quickly, just 2 days. Distillation occurs by heating the liquid obtained from fermentation to a temperature of 80 degrees Celsius to promote the evaporation of the alcohol. To achieve the final product, a long aging period of up to 10 years is required, which occurs exclusively in oak barrels. It is during this aging period that rum acquires some of its key characteristics, such as its dark amber color and its sweet yet full-bodied flavor. To fully appreciate the qualities of this spirit, we recommend consuming it during a relaxing moment, perhaps accompanied by a fine cigar.
